Black Market Baby Lyrics - Mule Variations - Tom Waits

She lives in a house 

That's way back off the road 

There's a man with a lantern 

And he carries her soul 

A coal stove and a bed 

A skillet and a hound 

She drove a camel through 

A needle 

In this sinking board walk town 

She's my Black Market Baby 

She's my Black Market Baby 

She's a diamond that 

Wants to stay coal 

Wants to stay coal 

I swang out wide with her 

On hells iron gate 

Anything that you wanted 

You could have 

My eyes say their prayers to her 

Sailors ring her bell 

Like a moth mistakes a light bulb 

For the moon and goes to hell 

She's my Black Market Baby 

She's my Black Market Baby 

She's a diamond that 

Wants to stay coal 

Wants to stay coal 

There's no prayer like desire 

There's amnesia in her kiss 

She's a swan and a pistol 

And she will follow you like this 

In Moverly, Missouri at the 

Iroquois Hotel 

She checked in with the President 

And she ran up quite a Bill 

(Chorus) 

She's whiskey in a teacup 

She gives blondes a lousy name 

She's a Bonzai Aphrodite 

And a ticket back to Spain 

She's a hard way to go 

And there ain't no way 

To stop 

Every time you play the red 

The black is coming up 

She's my Black Market baby 

She's my Black Market baby 

She's a diamond that 

Wants to stay coal 

Wants to stay coal
